Whats ACHI ? I didnt see anything useful on google or wikipedia ... is it a
chipset ? The issue I take with intel is there chips are either grossly
power hungry/hot (anything pre-pentium M) or ungodly expensive (core, core
2). They dont have anything that competes with a 65W AM2 athlon64.
Oops, I seem to have transposed some characters while typing that. It
is AHCI: Advanced Host Controller Interface. Many hardware vendors
are standardizing on this specification for SATA interfaces. The most
common ones are found in the Intel ICH6R, ICH7R, and ICH8R south
bridges, but others from VIA, Nvidia, SiS and Jmicron are planned or
available.
See http://www.opensolaris.org/os/community/device_drivers/projects/AHCI
The driver is fairly new and does not support much at present, but it
should be a safe bet in the future. As for PCIe cards, I think the
only options are the the two port SiI3132 and Jmicron based cards.
Sorry about the typo.
Chris
